Artist Statement
Currently I am exploring how an invisible physical sensation is expressed and made visible with the daily practice of documenting the presence of numbness throughout different parts of my body. By abstracting, codifying, and systematizing the work, I want to evoke a sense of the passing of time, accumulation, attentiveness, presence and absence, control and loss of control, all in connection to the body that goes beyond a narrative of my individual experience, in turn, creating tension between the subjective and science and medicine’s objectification of the body.
